Black Screen

[JessiCapri]

Hey Zuz.  This happens to me in summer and I have a Nvidia GForce Experience graphics card.

Sorry you are having a difficult time and wish I was tech savy enough to try to offer assistance.

I get it all the time too. No rhyme or reason.
I play with it windowed. I have never tried it full screen to see if it wouldnt do it
but then I have some sessions and it never happens.

  Just got the black screen again.  And i was full screen as well.

  Looks like everything I do I get the same result.

  Are either of you playing it through Steam ?  I have an account there and it's the only thing I haven't tried yet.

[Momma_andrea]

I have never played it thru Steam.

Hey Zuz

Just a suggestion….
Maybe have a word with T? He’s a programmer. Might be able to offer some helpful advice?
Maybe you’ve already asked…just thought it may be helpful.

See you around chubby bum 😉 😛 ;D

meh

Hmmmmmmmmm

I think We have had a chat about it.

But I think I might have fixed it. Only might. When I run anything from steam and when I’ve looked on the internet first or even just started up my P.C. the games go black screen. I restart and everything is ok. The games run as they should. I know weird.

And it’s the same here. Going to try it now.

  Over the last few days this has been occuring every time I've logged in.  Ok, I haven't restarted my P.C. everytime.

  What I have found is, if I restart and go full screen, it is ok for a while and then BANG it goes black.  The thing is, that when this happens the Maximize / Minimize bar across the top stays visible.  So I can at least go back to Windowed mode.

  If I don't restart after doing something beforehand the said bar disappears as well and I have to get the Task Manager up to close ACHAT down.  That's is the only thing that seems to work for me.

  But, I don't really trust it, to go in room with full screen, which is a shame.

I hope it is a huge update of game and not a big iusse.

[Soniaslut]

The cities have been dark all day long.
Zuz has mailed the Ateam, and I'm sure others have too, so hopefully, whether it be an update or a technical issue, things will be back to normal soon.
In the meantime just use the Lobby to chat..get together in a room or visit the forum and browse the threads…even post something yourself.

Ok there is a problem with the Meeting Places.  But, there is a bigger issue here.

People, as well as myself are getting black screens in room and (when the meeting places are working) in there too.

Big issues here people.

[Tirix]

I don't know, for me all ok in rooms. I have not black screen there. I checked another time public places and it changed nothing.

[Zuzannah]

  Going in room is intermittent.  But when it does happen, (and usually it does) it's a pain in the ass.

  Also when in a Meeting Place, especially when I'm in full screen mode it's a total pain in the ass.

[Vaughan]

All the public rooms are showing a black screen.
I have reported it to support.

When i get an answer I'll let you know.
